Hi Greengrocer....

Heres my advice If you wanna just grow one plant to start off with.....

Buy a small HPS floodlight.... 70w (they put out around about 6000 Lumens) and cost around £35 GBP... (dunno about aussie dollars?)

You dont need to buy pots.... check my grow out.... I used empty 5L water bottles and doubled them up.... they done the job... but if you are not growing on that tight a budget.... I'd reccomend you buy a 10L pot....

(Best to start your seeds in some sowing & cutting compost 50-50 with perlite...then transfer into the 10L once a strong rooting structure has been established....)

Fans are definately necessary.... otherwise you'll have heat issues....

Soil is easier than hydro for a 1st timer

Box...dont use a cardboard box! you might burn the fucking house down! ....and your box in the picture is too small!


build yourself a 3mm-5mm ply wood box...... 1ft-1.5ft square and tall enough to accommodate your pot + light + maybe 2.5 ft....for the plant...

Buy feminised seeds....(the attitude are highly recomended) - Go Indica as they stay short and bushy....

Have fun! :jointsmile:

First time Grower... few questions First of all I've been reading through some of the threads and you guys all seem so much more willing to help than the previous and first forum I tried so here goes... (If I seem a bit blunt in places its just because I've copied/pasted some from my replies on the other forum) Ok, first time grower. I want to grow just for the reason so I don't have to buy it. I'm not concerned about how many plants I grow the first time round as I just want to get the hang of it all first. Pots: I Rating: 5
